Generative AI Learning Community

The Center for Teaching Excellence seeks a cohort of 16 interested and dedicated instructors to participate in the Generative AI Learning Community focused on exploring the use of generative artificial intelligence in the classroom.

This three-semester commitment takes place over the 2025/2026 calendar year - Spring or Summer 2025, Fall 2025, and Spring 2026. There is flexibility for faculty to join the learning community either in Spring or Summer 2025, with both entry points concluding with activities in which they promote AI use among their peers (Champion AI among Peers). Participants choose two activities from four options.

Entry Point	Implementation	Champion AI among Peers
Spring 2025	Fall 2025	Spring 2026
Summer 2025	Fall 2025	Spring 2026

Generative AI Learning Community Learning Outcomes:

Develop awareness of the latest developments and best practices in generative AI and its applications in various disciplines and domains.

Those who complete all requirements (see timeframe below) will receive a $2500 bursary at the completion of their commitment. Please note, those who apply as a group will receive the $2500 bursary to be divided evenly between group members.

Generative AI Community

The Generative AI Learning Community welcomes faculty from all backgrounds, levels of expertise, and areas of interest who are curious about generative AI and its educational implications. The learning community participants will engage in activities such as workshops, webinars, demos, discussions, projects, and showcases. Spring 2025/Summer 2025 focuses on forming a Community of Scholars to study artificial intelligence, anchored by CTE-developed modules.

Fall 2025 focuses on generative AI implementation, planning to put into practice that which was learned in the spring/summer. Spring 2026 focuses on activities in which participants promote AI use among their peers, sharing how they implemented generative AI into their teaching and their assessment of how it went.
